Question

I am using the bottlenose for Amazon Product API. I simply created some codes and met the error below:

Code I created:

ak = "my access key"   
sk = "My secret key"

import bottlenose
amazon = bottlenose.Amazon(ak, sk)
response=amazon.ItemLookup(ItemId="0596520999", ResponseGroup="Images", SearchIndex="Books", IdType="ISBN",Style="http://xml2json-xslt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/xml2json.xslt") % reference from the README file of bottlenose

Here is the error I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/amazontest", line 6, in <module>
    response=amazon.ItemLookup(ItemId="0596520999", ResponseGroup="Images", SearchIndex="Books", IdType="ISBN",Style="http://xml2json-xslt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/xml2json.xslt")

    response = meth(req, response)

    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

Is there anyone know what is the problem? I appreicate your answer!

Thanks

in

amazon = bottlenose.Amazon(ak, sk)

you need to add a third parameter: service Tag.

amazon = bottlenose.Amazon(ak, sk, service_tag)
